Testimonials

Before I engaged Change of Plan I had a lot of great ideas and concepts but they were going in every direction possible.
When Change of Plan was involved in my project I had an incredibly fast turnaround and the result was everything I’d hoped for. I am very impressed with their professionalism and personal approach. They managed to exceed my expectations.
I would personally recommend Change of Plan to anyone who wants to save time, money and a few grey hairs.
Thank you Melanie and team. Looking forward to doing more business with you in the future.

ATCO engaged Change of Plan to assist with a planning permit application. It was a pleasure working with Melanie, her appreciation of our unique requirements along with her efforts liaising with council to obtain a positive outcome for ATCO were commended. We would have no hesitation recommending Change of Plan for future projects.

ATCO, Dandenong South

I contacted Melanie out of desperation when what I thought would be a simple process went horribly wrong. We had submitted an application for an amendment to a Planning Permit to build on the Mornington Peninsula. After making the application we were told there would be problems with neighbours and we had to provide information that we just didn’t understand.
Melanie answered my call for help within a couple of hours and immediately took over and managed the process, it was such a relief. She kept me informed throughout the process and made sure I understood what was happening. The end result is we have a permit, thankyou Melanie.
I highly recommend her service to anyone needing a permit, she understands the requirements and makes the process hassle free.

Melanie was extremely helpful when I applied for a planning permit for car parking dispensation through the Vic Smart application process. She had great knowledge of how the council worked, and was well known and regarded in the Town Planning department at Kingston council. I received her thorough report promptly and the council application went through without a hitch!
I would not hesitate to employ Melanies expertise again.

In the past I had always used a large company for my jobs. They were good at what they did but the personal touch just wasn’t there. Moving on was difficult as I was engaging a company I had no previous experience with. Thankfully Melanie @ A Change of Plan lived up to her promises and I am extremely pleased with the quality of work.

Chris Jonker

I will always trust Melanie and Change of Plan for all my Town Planning services, knowing very well that from the very get go I will be given professional advice that not only suits my budget, but of course the specific goals and unique requirements of my project.
From Council to Council, project to project, design to design I strongly recommend Melanie Ellis and Change of Plan.
